Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I possess a wealth of expertise in effectively addressing the complex issue of narcissistic abuse. I have created and published extensive resources on this topic, including audios, videos, eBooks, and The Narcissistic Abuse Survival Tool Kit. These resources have helped thousands of individuals on their journey towards healing from the trauma of narcissistic abuse. This form of abuse often leaves individuals feeling bewildered, isolated, and trapped in a perpetual cycle of walking on eggshells. My approach is rooted in fostering a deep understanding of the covert tactics employed by narcissists, such as gaslighting, manipulation, projection, and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). I guide clients in learning to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, a crucial step towards reclaiming their lives. Furthermore, I incorporate EMDR therapy to support individuals in coping with the effects of a narcissistic relationship and, when necessary, summoning the inner strength to break free from it.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Counseling for Narcissism offers specialized care for individuals grappling with its complexities, a condition characterized by patterns of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. NPD counseling aims to address the deep-seated emotional and psychological issues that underpin these behaviors, fostering healthier interpersonal relationships and a more constructive self-image. Recognizing the challenges in treating NPD, our approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and a commitment to facilitating change.
Tailored Counseling Approach for NPD
* Empathetic and Nonjudgmental Environment: We prioritize creating a secure therapeutic space where individuals feel safe to explore their feelings, behaviors, and the roots of their narcissistic tendencies without judgment.
* Insight-Oriented Counseling: We guide clients toward developing insight into their own behaviors and the impacts on themselves and others, promoting the acknowledgement of and accountability for their actions.
* Emotion Regulation: Counseling focuses on enhancing emotional regulation skills to manage the vulnerabilities and sensitivities often underlying narcissistic behaviors.
* Interpersonal Effectiveness: We work to improve interpersonal skills, fostering empathy, and enhancing the capacity for meaningful and reciprocal relationships.
* Self-Esteem Building: A key component of counseling is addressing underlying issues of self-esteem and validation, helping clients build a healthier and more stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on external validation.

* Enhance Self-Insight: Facilitate a deeper understanding of oneself, fostering acknowledgment of narcissistic patterns and their effects.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Working with individuals who experience narcissistic traits or have been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder involves building insight, emotional awareness, and healthier interpersonal patterns. In therapy, I offer a structured and respectful environment where we explore underlying vulnerabilities, attachment wounds, and defense mechanisms that contribute to self-image struggles, sensitivity to criticism, and relationship challenges. Through a blend of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, we work toward developing greater empathy, accountability, and more fulfilling, balanced ways of relating to others and oneself.
